Unrelated history is trotted out like somehow it means it was deserved. Nothing in his past means he deserved to be murdered by the police. Nothing he did in his past means it was right that he was murdered by the police. Nothing he said meant he should be murdered by the police. Nothing means he deserved to be murdered by the police.

I don’t know man, “justice for Floyd” and all that... Justice for pointing a gun at a pregnant woman’s belly should probably be death. If someone did that to my wife when she was pregnant I would have zero issue with their death, however it was administered.
I can certainly see why protests in the name of a justice for a violent criminal would be infuriating. The black community suffers a lot of injustice, and has a lot more noble characters affected by it, than the names that get used (I would imagine that’s the frustration).
